The University Archives holds minutes, correspondence, reports, curricular material, and other records created by Columbia University's governing bodies and administrative offices, academic departments, and institutes located at the Morningside Heights campus, as well as some small manuscript collections. The bulk of the administrative records, "Central Files," was created after 1890, with records through 1973 accessible. The General Photo Collection contains more than 30,000 positives and over 50,000 negatives, 1845-present. The Protest-Activism Collection, 1963-1975, contains records created and collected by protest participants from the student body, the faculty, and the community. The collections also include information on urban planning and re-development of the Morningside Heights/West Harlem neighborhoods. The Columbiana Library consists of bulletins, directories, yearbooks, pamphlets, books, and memorabilia documenting the history of Columbia University (King's College, 1754-1783; Columbia College, 1783-1896), and the lives and work of administrators, faculty, staff, and students.
